Israel 70th birthday

Heiko Maas, Germany's new foreign minister, is deep into the cult of remembrance and quite willing to bow to Israel's needs.

BOTH COUNTRIES' OFFICIAL POSITION, practically written in law, is that they have a 'special relationship' with the State of Israel.

We all know what Germany's 'special relationship' is derived from, but the USA? In my opinion, ours was totally built by Hollywood and Jewish media empires. (I think of the movie "Exodus" starring that teenage hearthrob Paul Newman which was incredibly impactful in the 1950's.) Unless they want to say that because Truman was the first to diplomatically recognize the new state of Israel in 1948, that cemented something forever and ever.

But no doubt the reason at bottom is the massive power base Jewry had established by that time in the United States.
